Class Information for Guardian
Those who seek up-close combat will find the melee-driven style of the
Guardian to be to their liking. The Guardian is the front-line force in a
party. Combining the power of armored protection and physical
prowess, the Guardian can take large amounts of physical damage from
enemies and remain standing. This style of combat requires the
Guardian to be in close range with his target at all times. The
Guardian’s role allows the less resilient members of his party to perform
their roles more effectively.
